Companies must understand how project management best practices can elevate their levels of business success and recognize the need for continuous improvements supported by an investment in the discovery of best practices. The importance of continuous improvement efforts makes it clear that the discovery and use of best practices should not be left to chance. Historically, most companies never investigate all the necessary steps to determine if a practice is the best approach.

Achieving project management excellence is a major component of strategic planning activities. Project management and business thinking are no longer separate activities. Project management is not just about processes; it is now aligned with the delivery of business benefits and value as indicated in the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition.

The recommendations made throughout this webinar point to the increasing importance of the human side of best practices. Organizations that are leading the growth and sustainability agendas of the future will have to create safe cultures where fear of extracting best practices from what has not worked disappears.
